Cloudy Vision After Cataract Eye Surgery
Although cataract eye surgery is now a very common procedure with few risks and side effects, many people will experience a clouding of their vision between six months and five years after cataract eye surgery.
Cloudy vision after cataract eye surgery is medically known as Posterior Capsule Opacification, or PCO.
Many mistake this for the cataract returning, but actually it is caused by the thickening of the pocket that the artificial lens sits in as cells grow over the back of the lens.
The risk of developing cloudy vision after cataract eye surgery has been reduced as it has recently been identified that using round edged lenses increases 
the risk of this condition, so sharp edges lenses are now routinely used.
Even if Posterior Capsule Opacification or cloudy vision does occur, it can be corrected with laser eye surgery which is a fairly simple process. The prospect of two sessions of eye surgery may not sound appealing, but it is generally a better option than leaving the cataract and risking losing your sight altogether.
